Ascension Address
People of the Interstellar BlogNomic Union, I greet you and thank you for your support. While our worlds have been scarred by recent devastation wrought by the Hydran menace, our Union between former enemies allowed us to destroy this mutual threat and form a unified government. As Speaker of the BlogNomic Council, I promise to bring an end to warfare within the Union, to promote the expansion of the Union to new, uncharted areas, to provide peace and prosperity to everyone, and to boldly go where no being has gone before!
To the Representatives of the BlogNomic Council:
By now, I’m sure you have all read the ascension address and are unanimous in your view that its worth can be measured in the pixels it is printed on. The Hydrans were temporarily defeated, not destroyed. Similarly, we may give the illusion of unity between our states, but we need make no such pretensions among ourselves because of a simple alliance against a mutual threat. Each of our governments has the same goal: to gain supreme power. This newly formed legislative council is simply the latest means to that end, created because open warfare is destroying everything worth conquering.
Each of us, as legislators, has the following objectives:
(1) Rebuild our crippled military fleets.
(2) Utilize captured Hydran technology to gain a military advantage over each other and, when the Hydrans return, over them.
(3) Rebuild the civilian infrastructure in war-damaged worlds.
(4) Maintain our support base in our respective governments to gain and hold power in our respective nations.
